Pennsylvania Plant
Our Pennsylvania facility started what would become CMC Impact Metals. It was established as Allegheny Heat Treating (AHT) in 1978. After many years of providing heat treating services to CMC Steel Alabama (then SMI Steel, Inc.) and other steel mill customers, CMC acquired AHT in January 1997. Key strengths of this facility are its experienced, knowledgeble workforce and the capability to perform a wide variety of heat treating and finishing processes on many different steel products.
Heat treating equipment consists of two roller hearth furnaces capable of processing various products up to 60" wide and 53' long, as well as an induction quench and temper line for SBQ rounds (0.75" to 3.625"). The facility can perform quench and temper, normalizing, annealing, and stress relieving processes to flat bars, structural shapes (angles, channels, beams), rounds, and plate products from up to 60" wide and 1/8" to 1" in thickness.
After heat treatment products are typically straightened on one of the following: a two plane flat bar straightener, plate leveler, or one of several horizontal hydraulic presses. Most long products are typically straightened to a 1/8" in 5' standard, and plate is leveled to meet tolerances at least 1/2 ASTM A6.
Additional services include shot blasting, rust preventative application, and precision saw cutting.
